Consider the hyperbola

x2100−y264=1\frac{x^{2}}{100}-\frac{y^{2}}{64}=1

with foci at SS and S1S_{1} , where SS lies on the positive xx -axis. Let PP be a point on the hyperbola, in the first quadrant. Let ∠SPS1=α\angle S P S_{1}=\alpha , with \alpha<\frac{\pi}{2} . The straight line passing through the point SS and having the same slope as that of the tangent at PP to the hyperbola, intersects the straight line S1PS_{1} P at P1P_{1} . Let δ\delta be the distance of PP from the straight line SP1S P_{1} , and β=S1P\beta=S_{1} P . Then the greatest integer less than or equal to βδ9sin⁡α2\frac{\beta \delta}{9} \sin \frac{\alpha}{2} is ________.

JEE Advanced 2022 Paper 2 Online Mathematics - Hyperbola Question 1 English Explanation

From property we know, tangent and normal is bisector of the angle between focal radii.

∴\therefore Tangent AB divides the angle ∠SPS1=α\angle SP{S_1} = \alpha equal parts.

From another property, we know, if we draw perpendicular to the tangent on the hyperbola from two foci, then product of length of the perpendicular from foci = b2

∴\therefore l×δ=b2l \times \delta = {b^2}

Given hyperbola, x2100−y264=1{{{x^2}} \over {100}} - {{{y^2}} \over {64}} = 1

∴\therefore a2=100{a^2} = 100

and b2=64{b^2} = 64

∴\therefore l×δ=64l \times \delta = 64 ....... (1)

From right angle triangle S1 MP we get, sin⁡α2=lβ\sin {\alpha \over 2} = {l \over \beta }

∴\therefore l=βsin⁡α2l = \beta \sin {\alpha \over 2} ....... (2)

Putting value of l in equation (1), we get

(βsin⁡α2)×δ=64\left( {\beta \sin {\alpha \over 2}} \right) \times \delta = 64

⇒δβsin⁡α2=64\Rightarrow \delta \beta \sin {\alpha \over 2} = 64

∴\therefore βδ9sin⁡α2{{\beta \delta } \over 9}\sin {\alpha \over 2}

=649=7.1= {{64} \over 9} = 7.1

∴\therefore Greatest integer =[7.1]=7= [7.1] = 7
